2013 has found us in Texas working as gatekeepers at oil rig sites. Our first stint was five weeks long and we learned a lot about the oil business (not nearly enough). We had to leave the site to make a quick trip to Albuquerque for a doctor's appointment and to visit my parents (and pick up all our mail)! We left our motorhome in Texas at a Corps of Engineers campground at Canyon Lake. I'm attaching a couple of photos of the lake. This afternoon it is 72 degrees, slight wind, and the lake is beautiful. There were more campers over the weekend, but they've left and we're one of only four campers on our entire loop.
We will contact the office we work out of tomorrow morning to let them know we're back in the area and are ready to work. We enjoyed a brief respite from the gate keeping duties and all the noise of the oil business (and the freeway noise and trains). Now we're ready to go back and earn some more money.
Hope this finds everyone healthy and happy in the New Year!
